Justice has exhibited symptoms of cerebral irritation which makes it absolutely necessary that definite rules should be laid down by which I may be guided, and to which I may appeal in the difficulties which unfortunately arise, on almost every occasion, when the Chief Justice presides.

Some short time back, when the rule book was referred to in Court, the Chief Justice demanded by what authority the book had been kept, and when informed of the fact, sent for Mr. Hazeland, and informed him that he was not bound to keep the book, and said that I had no right to order his Clerk to do anything.

This however, I pass over as a very trifling matter, but yesterday, the matter takes place in public, it becomes too serious for me to remain any longer silent.

The forms, which I had before stated, had been prepared, have been in constant use, and have been repeatedly printed before they were used.
